In MS Word 2013 I always get this rapidly repeating message
"Action Paste Alternatives, action paste alternatives"
immediately following a paste operation of more than a few lines' worth of
text.  It suggests a message on screen is blinking with this critical
information, which I need to fix instantly!  Does anyone know if there's a
way to stop it?

Does Microsoft think something will break in the computer if I don't
respond?  I can't even hear the information on the current line, because it
repeats too quickly, or too persistently, until you actually start typing a
few characters, or hit enter, then it stops.  Then I can continue working,
but not before I've taken the time to undo what I did to stop the repeating
message.  Tapping ctrl or hitting escape doesn't stop it.

Perhaps what we need is a Window-eyes setting for "never blink" to take care
of this.  I really think after we've heard a message once or twice per
event, that we've heard it enough!  Has anyone else noticed this?  Instead
of rubbing my nose in the idea that there might be paste alternatives
available, why doesn't Microsoft suggest one or two, perhaps a few keywords,
or perhaps a keystroke combo to bring up the list of alternatives to pick
from!  But please, say or show the info only once or twice per event, so
that I can continue working without obstruction..  And speaking of
obstructions, I'm finding that Windows 7 and Office 2013 are filled to the
brim with them.  You can see I'd really love to get started, but I won't
this time.  Please excuse my wrant.  But if anyone knows how to keep that
message from popping up, I'd sure love to hear about it.
